      Even if there’s no criminal charges, at least there are some groups that just filed civil lawsuits about the record keeping laws they broke

      And note that Pardon powers do not apply to civil cases - only criminal ones

          Well for now, the courts aren’t giving up their power like Congress

          So if he doesn’t show up, they’re going to rule against him and take it out of his bank account
